Cesar Chavez got it right when he said “We need to help students and parents cherish and preserve the ethnic and cultural diversity that nourishes and strengthens this community - and this nation.” Diversity strengthens everything it touches, if we’d only let it. In the...
Bartering can grow your businesses and help you find new customers. Bartering? Yeah, like the kind you did as a kid in the lunchroom of your elementary school. “I’ll trade you my chocolate milk for your cookie.” It may not be something you’ve considered as...
Could you imagine examining and then cleaning 250 teeth all on the same patient? All while wearing a wetsuit? Okay, the last question seems a bit strange, I know, but I am going somewhere with all these questions. I’m talking about the field of Veterinary...
In my youth, like most people, I hated going to the dentist.. The only upside to going was that I usually got to miss a whole day of school. I remember those mornings getting ready to go to the dentists vividly. Ten minutes before we’d...
The ceiling fan above my bed wasn’t installed properly. When I stare at it, which I often do at night when I can’t sleep, I notice that it has this irregular vibration pattern and wobbles more than it should. I’m convinced that at any moment...

“The doctor will be with you shortly.” If this isn’t the biggest lie in the history of the universe, then I don’t know what is. I guess it all depends on your definition of “shortly.” For me, “shortly” inarguably means any amount of time less...
Television news is really good at talking doom and gloom, especially when it comes to politics. Right now, if I turned on any news station, I know it would only be seconds before I heard a story discussing a federal government shutdown in 2018. It’s...
For the last few years I’ve been surfing the web for snake oils or other elixirs to restore my body back to its youthful exuberance it once held. Okay, I haven’t really been looking for snake oils, just cures for my alopecia or “male pattern...
“I WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOUR WIFE!” “I WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOUR WIFE!” This is hardly what my friend was trying to say, but with his extremely limited knowledge of the Navajo language, this is the phrase that unfortunately flew out of his mouth...
